I have ADHD. And it's taken me decades with this diagnosis to not only truly understand my brain but also to make peace with it. Screw that... I didn't just make peace, I actually celebrate this brain. I love this brain. Think about it. Your brain isn't typical; it's distinct. What a gift. You're a natural at thinking differently. The problem is.... or shall I say, the perceived problem is... we might struggle with conventional expectations like punctuality, stillness, silence, rigid structures, or conformity. So today, we're talking about how to unlock the incredible potential of the ADHD brain. It's my favorite discussion on ADHD so far, and I've learned things that I didn't pick up in my last 20 years of understanding and harnessing my mind. Our guest is Jesse Anderson.
